3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.
Mason Sand
A fine, clean sand for construction and masonry. Use it under pavers or turf, mix it into mortar or soil, or spread it across your lawn to smooth out bumps and low spots in your lawn.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.

Why Oakbrook Terrace Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Oakbrook Terrace (city population 2,300) sits within a growing regional market (metro area population 2.6+ million) where steady expansion—a growth rate of 1.20% annually—keeps demand for residential and small-scale commercial projects consistent. For homeowners that means ongoing needs for bulk materials for landscaping, driveway work, grading, and garden beds. With 228 sunny days per year and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall in a hardiness zone of 8b, local climate favors year-round outdoor work but also requires materials that handle alternating wet and dry cycles. Quality bulk supplies—dirt, sand, mulch, and a range of aggregates—help control drainage, stabilize slopes, and build durable hardscapes that withstand local weather patterns and homeowner preferences for low-maintenance yards. Local climate and soil conditions create specific challenges: moderate rainfall combined with many sunny days increases the importance of proper drainage, erosion control, and moisture-retentive topdressing in planting areas. Materials must perform well through wet spells and dry, sunny periods, so homeowners should consider material grading, compaction, and organic content when choosing supplies. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you to locally sourced materials that reflect regional geology, offering scheduling flexibility, a material calculator, and expert guidance so you can pick the right products and quantities for Oakbrook Terrace projects.Popular Projects in Oakbrook Terrace This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Oakbrook Terrace Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Oakbrook Terrace.
Homeowners typically order a mix of aggregates for different jobs, including materials grouped as gravel, sand, dirt, stone. These are used for driveways, drainage layers, patio bases, top dressing, and garden beds. Your choice depends on the project function—drainage, stability, or appearance—so consider how the material will be used before ordering.
Most local suppliers in the West Illinois area work with a minimum order (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons) and standard delivery is scheduled for 2+ business days. Next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, and deliveries come by dump truck (typically tri-axle). You can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout and note any access or placement instructions; tailgate spreading may be available at the driver’s discretion.
Freeze-thaw cycles, freeze-settling, and the use of road salts can shift and break down loose materials over time, and heavy snow or ice removal can displace surface aggregates. Choosing materials and installation methods that promote drainage, proper compaction, and seasonal maintenance will extend performance. Expect some movement after harsh winters and plan for occasional top-up or regrading.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide the required depth for the project, then convert that cubic volume to the supplier’s ordering unit (yards or tons). Because material density varies, use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or request help from our team to convert volume to tons and get a reliable estimate. When in doubt, order a little extra to allow for compaction and grading.
Restrictions vary by neighborhood and HOA, and Oakbrook Terrace municipal rules or private covenants may limit visible surface materials, colors, or permeable options. Always check with your HOA and the city planning or building department before ordering materials for a visible area. If permits or design approvals are required, schedule them before delivery to avoid extra handling or returns.
Demand typically peaks in spring and summer when landscaping and construction activity is highest, which can limit same-day availability and raise prices. Late fall and winter are often slower, and some suppliers offer off-season discounts or more flexible scheduling, though weather can affect deliveries. For best pricing and availability, plan ahead and get quotes for your preferred delivery window.
Contractors often contend with site access limits, tight driveways, underground utilities, drainage planning, and local soil conditions that affect compaction and stability. Weather windows, snow, and frozen ground can delay work or require different handling, and coordinating truck access and staging is crucial for efficient installs. Clear delivery instructions and early communication with suppliers help reduce surprises on site.
Suppliers coordinate truck size, delivery timing, and staging instructions based on your address, access constraints, and order size; Hello Gravel connects you with local haulers and confirms delivery details. Provide clear notes about drop location, obstacles, parking, and permit needs at checkout so drivers can plan; remember that drivers may not perform spreading and will assess safety on arrival. If placement or spreading is required, request it in advance and expect the driver to evaluate feasibility at the site.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
